Serious troubles were caused by the highly heterogeneous cancer cells in clinical cancer treatment.In recent years,molecular characterization of tumors and corresponding individualized cancer management has become hotspots for cancer research.Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are shed from primary solid tumors or metastases into the peripheral blood.CTCs could serve as liquid biopsy for patients with cancer,with non-invasive,real-time and repeatable access.Serial monitoring of the amount and molecular characteristics of CTCs in the blood samples has significant clinical value for prognostic prediction,targeted drugs choice and real-time evaluation of clinical effectiveness in individualized cancer treatment.This review summarizes current methods for the CTC isolation and detection,and discusses the perspectives of CTC analyses in real-time personalized cancer therapy.Some future research directions in this field are proposed.

Objective To investigate the effect of Bcl-2 gene knockdown on apotosis , proliferation and drug sensitivity of gastric carcinoma HGC-27 cells. Methods The HGC-27 cells were divided into five groups:the untreated control group , the control siRNA group , the specific siRNA targeting Bcl-2 gene group , 5-FU treated group and the combination group (Bcl-2 siRNA and 5-FU treatment). Then flow cytometry and MTT assays were performed to detect the apoptosis and proliferation of HGC-27 cells. The cysteine protease activityand Cytochrome C release level were tested by ELISA method. Results Bcl-2 knockdown enhanced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation of HGC-27 cells. Comparedwith the 5-FU-treated group , the cell apoptosis level, activities of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9, plasma Cytochrome C were significantly increased in the combination group(P <0.01). Conclusion Bcl-2 gene knockdown induced apoptosis, inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced the drug sensitivity of 5-FU in gastric cancer cells , which might be considered as a potential therapeutic strategy forgastric carcinoma.
7.Wnt signaling pathway and osteosarcoma
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(7):551-554
The Wnt pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development and is indispensable for determination of OS cell lines. In recent years, experimental evidences on Wnt signaling pathway in OS cell lines and OS animal models, and that of Wnt signaling pathway as a diagnosis and prognosis marker of OS suggested that Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in the progression, invasion and metastasis of OS. In addition, the strategy and safety evaluation to target Wnt to treat OS are underway. Exploring the significant role of Wnt signaling pathway in OS may aid in personalizing therapeutics to increase patient survival.

The ion beam bioengineering study articles for 1994 -2003 years were retrieved, the research material and the level of the research, magazine, the ion source and the fund source were analysed and counted. The results indicate that the ion beam bioengineering of China get a fast development under the support of the nation and the local government and college. The development in the field of microbe is the fastest. in 21st century, the local government and colleges gradually enlarge the support of the ion beam bioengineering, some articles are under the support of enterprise researcher and fund. The contents of these articles mainly about application study. After analysing the data, the future of ion beam bioengineering of China was forecasted.

Objective In the LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) there is massive accumulation of neutrophils in the lung. The effect of neutrophil collagenase on the degradation of lung matrix collagen ig still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of neutrophil collagenase in LPS-induced ALI.Methods Thirty SD rats of either sex weighing 190 ? 40 g were randomly divided into five groups of 6 animals : group 1 control and group 2-5 LPS. In LPS groups animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 30 mg?kg-1. Right jugular vein was cannulated. LPS (O55: B5 Sigma USA) 5 mg?kg-1 was injected iv. The animals were sacrificed at 2 h (group 2), 4 h (group 3), 6 h( group 4) and 8 h( group 5) after iv LPS administration. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed immediately with 3 ml of normal saline. The fluid washed out was collected and subjected to hypothermic centrifugation (3000 r?min-1, 10 min 4℃) . The supernatant was collected for determination of its protein content. Lung tissue was obtained for determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, expression of matrix metallo-proteinase-8 (MMP-8) , CrossLaps protein content (the degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen) and wet/dry lung weight ratio(W/D), and microscopic examination. Pulmonary permeability index was calculated (protein content in bronchoalveolar wash-out fluid / plasma protein concentration) .Results At 4, 6 and 8 h after iv LPS administration (in group 3-5) the MMP-8 expression, crosslaps protein content, MPO activity, W/D and lung permeability index were significantly increased as compared with those in control group ( P

Objective To investigate the liver damage caused by single high-dose intake of ethanol in mice. Methods Twenty-four male Kunming mice were randomized into 2 groups. The mice in ethanol group were treated with single dose of ethanol (50%,V/V,12 ml/kg),while the control mice received distilled water. The serum biochemical indices were determined 16 h after ethanol exposure. The hepatic triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acid (FFA) levels and the histological changes were examined to evaluate the fat accumulation,while the Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) was detected for the mitochondrial function assay. The liver and mitochondrial malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were determined to assess the lipid peroxidation level. The activities and the protein expression of the CYP2E1,1A2,3A were determined. Results Slow response,ataxia and righting reflex disappearance were gradually emerged,which disappeared at about 3 h later. Compared with the control group,the liver index,the serum ALT and AST activities,the hepatic TG,FFA,and MDA levels,and the activity and protein level of the CYP2E1 significantly increased,while the liver GSH level significantly decreased (P0.05). In addition,A540 of ethanol group was higher than that of control group (P
